We published our draft recommendations in June 1998 and undertook a ten-week period of consultation. We have now prepared our final recommendations in the light of the consultation, and have confirmed our draft recommendations in full. This report sets out our final recommendations for changes to electoral arrangements in Amber Valley. We recommend that Amber Valley Borough Council should be served by 45 councillors representing 23 wards, and that changes should be made to ward boundaries in order to improve electoral equality, having regard to the statutory criteria. We recommend that the Council should continue to hold elections by thirds. We note that you have now set out in the White Paper Modern Local Government - In Touch with the People (Cm 4014, HMSO) legislative proposals for a number of changes to local authority electoral arrangements. However, until such time as that new legislation is in place we are obliged to conduct our work in accordance with current legislation, and to continue our current approach to periodic electoral reviews. I would like to thank members and officers of the Borough Council and other local people who have contributed to the review. Their co-operation and assistance have been very much appreciated by Commissioners and staff. Yours sincerely PROFESSOR MALCOLM GRANT Chairman LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v vi LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Commission began a review of Amber Valley on 2 December 1997. We published our draft ● In all 23 wards, the number of electors per recommendations for electoral arrangements on 30 councillor would vary by no more than 10 June 1998, after which we undertook a ten-week per cent from the borough average initially. period of consultation. ● By 2002 the number of electors per councillor is forecast to vary by no more ● This report summarises the representations than 10 per cent from the average in all but we received during consultation on our draft one ward. recommendations, and offers our final recommendations to the Secretary of State. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish and town council electoral arrangements We found that the existing electoral arrangements which provide for: provide unequal representation of electors in Amber Valley because: ● revised warding arrangements for the parish of Crich; ● in 14 of the 25 wards, the number of electors represented by each councillor varies ● revised warding arrangements for the towns by more than 10 per cent from the average of Belper, Heanor & Loscoe and Ripley. for the borough, and four wards vary by more than 20 per cent from the average; ● by 2002 electoral equality is not expected to All further correspondence on these improve, with the number of electors per recommendations and the matters discussed councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 in this report should be addressed to the per cent from the average in 16 wards, and Secretary of State for the Environment, by more than 20 per cent in five wards. Transport and the Regions, who will not make an order implementing the Our main final recommendations for future Commission’s recommendations before 4 electoral arrangements (Figure 1 and paragraph January 1999: 82) are that: The Secretary of State ● Amber Valley Borough Council should be Department of the Environment, served by 45 councillors, two more than at Transport and the Regions present; Local Government Review Eland House ● there should be 23 wards, two less than at Bressenden Place present; London SW1E 5DU ● the boundaries of 14 of the existing wards should be modified, while 11 wards should retain their existing boundaries; ● elections should continue to take place by thirds. These recommendations seek to ensure that the number of electors represented by each borough councillor is as nearly as possible the same, having regard to local circumstances.

  • A38 Derby Junctions Scheme—Little Eaton Junction

    A38 Derby Junctions Scheme—Little Eaton Junction

    A38 DERBY JUNCTIONS SCHEME—LITTLE EATON JUNCTION. APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDER. WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS BY BREADSALL PARISH COUNCIL TO THE EXAMINING AUTHORITY Part 1. Selection of the preferred route Breadsall Parish Council believes that the process by which Highways England (HE) and its predecessor the Highways Agency (HA) selected the preferred route for the Little Eaton junction was deeply flawed. As a result, the selection of the preferred route should be completely re-examined before the current Development Consent Order is processed. The selection process for the preferred route is described in Highways England’s own document “A38 Derby Junctions Scheme Assessment Report (PCF Stage 2)” a copy of which is attached. See especially section 5. BPC’s comments below quote paragraph numbers from this report. Much of the same material is contained in the “6.1 Environmental Statement Chapter 3 -Scheme history and assessment of alternatives” submitted by HE as part of the DCO application In highway terms the obvious way to re-design the Little Eaton junction is to route the A38 to the north of the present junction. This is the shortest and most direct route for the A38, and this was indeed the basis for options 1 and 2 originally proposed by the HA in 2002 (See para 5.4.1). In 2003 HA held a public consultation exercise based on revised high-speed versions of options 1 and 2 and a new third option routed to the south of the present junction (See para 5.4.6). In 2004 HA decided “on balance” to support the third option which is the basis of the current scheme.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

    ClearLead Consulting Limited, The Barn, Cadhay, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1QT, UK +44 (0) 1404 814 273 4th May 2020 By Email Only Dear Sir / Madam Amber Valley Borough Local Plan: Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping We are writing to you in order to gain your opinion on the enclosed Scoping Report which sets out the proposed scope and level of detail of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the forthcoming Amber Valley Borough Local Plan. Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) formally resolved in May 2019 to withdraw the Submission Local Plan (March 2018) to enable the Spatial Vision, Strategic Objectives and Spatial Strategy Policies to be reviewed. At the Full Council meeting held in November 2019, the Borough Council agreed to prepare a new plan through to adoption by 31 March 2023, with a plan end date of at least 2038. The new Local Plan, when adopted, will replace the saved Local Plan policies of the current adopted plan. ClearLead Consulting Ltd has been appointed by AVBC to undertake the SA and as well as a parallel Habitats Regulations Assessment. Scoping Report The Scoping Report is the first output of the SA and provides baseline information on the environmental, social and economic characteristics of the plan area, including the likely evolution of the baseline position which would occur without the plan. The Scoping Report also sets out a methodology and framework for the assessment of the Local Plan and its alternatives at later stages of the Local Plan preparation process. It also identifies the significant effects that the assessment will need to focus on.

    391 WIRKSWORTH HUNDRED. ____________ This Hundred is bounded on the north and north-east by the High Peak Hundred, on the east by the Scarsdale Hundred, on the south and south-east, by the Appletree Hundred, and on the west by the river Dove, which separates it from Staffordshire, where at the north-west extremity, the Middle and Upper quarters of the parish of Hartington bound the south-west portion of the High Peak Hundred for ten miles, to the source of the rivers Dove and Goyt. This portion was, by order of Quarter Sessions of 28th June, 1831, annexed to the Bakewell division of Petty Sessions, and is now comprised in the north division of the county, the remainder of the Hundred being in the south division, with the Appletree, Morleston and Litchurch, and Repton and Gresley Hundreds, for which the polling places are Derby, Heanor, Ashbourn, Wirksworth, Melbourn, Belper, and Swadlincote; and those for the north division, Buxton, Alfreton, Bakewell, Castleton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Chesterfield, Glossop, Tideswell, and Eckington. This Hundred contains 77,659 statute acres of land. The northern side of this Hundred partakes of the same features as the High Peak, though not quite so mountainous, and is often designated the Low Peak. It is noted as being almost the first seat of the cotton manufacture, (See Cromford,) for its warm baths at Matlock, its numerous caverns and picturesque dales—particularly Dovedale,—and the rich mineral field at its northern extremity. The southern side is more an agricultural district of fertile land with a variety of soils, principally a red loam on various substrata, and chiefly occupied in dairy farms, many of which are large.
  • Updated Duffield Area Profile

    Updated Duffield Area Profile

    Area Profile: Duffield Spatial Outline The settlement of Duffield is located to the south of Amber Valley Borough at its boundary with Erewash, approximately 5 miles north of Derby and 15 miles west of Nottingham. The area is linked to several transport corridors including the A6, the Derwent Valley Railway line and the River Derwent runs north-south through its boundaries. The village centre of Duffield is situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Buffer Zone. The village benefits from being surrounded by rolling countryside and the River Ecclesbourne and River Derwent flow through it, with land either side of the River Derwent within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. There are a number of good access roads and public transport links, with train and bus links to the north and south. The area has close connections to settlements in Holbrook, Quarndon and cross boundary links within Derby City and Erewash. Key Characteristics Population: 5046 Number of Households: 2028 Population Density: 6.4 people/hectare Approximate Area: 786 Hectares Source: Census 2011 1 Improving Places and Meeting Community Needs Land Area: Duffield covers 786 Hectares. Population Density: At the 2011 Census population estimate the population density was approximately 6.4 people per hectare. This is slightly higher than the average density for the Borough of 4.6 people per hectare. Age: 37% of Duffield’s population is aged between 30 - 59 years, but it is a slightly lower percentage than the Borough average for that age group. The percentage of children is higher than the average for the Borough, but the percentage of young adults is significantly lower.
